lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I was very angry when I heard that the Council of Ministers was not going to extend the arms embargo on Monday. I understand that France, Italy, Spain and Belgium wished it to be lifted and Britain, as usual, sat on the fence. So much for an ethical foreign policy. But I urge the EU Council of Ministers to reconsider. Meantime, there should be no resumption of the arms trade by Member States. This gives the wrong signals at the wrong time. Even the Indonesian Cabinet Minister said it was the wrong decision. Democracy is fragile. There is a threat of an army coup, violence in the Moluccas is getting worse and now we hear in Lombok that twelve churches were burnt and 5 000 people have fled, and there are reports again that the army was involved. I plead with the Council of Ministers to reinstate the arms embargo for the sake of the stability of Indonesia."@en1
